[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Poorer people like to think to otherwise make themselves feel better for missing out ("So and so went on an exotic vacation but I bet they have no savings") but that doesn't make it true.[/quote] OP here. I agree with you. As I mentioned in my post, I really don't know anyone professional-type UMC-UC who truly lives beyond their means. Non-professional type friends, a totally different story. Second hand, I've heard about friends back home who made it big-ish and blow it. Like a second cousin making close to 1mm as a mortgage broker with some college education. She spent it assuming she'd make that forever, then was shocked when the market collapsed and figured out no one was clamoring to pay her even 10% of that. I think people with good educations who pursue professional careers tend to be more anxious and forward thinking. What other kind of person goes 200k in debt and study for a decade to be a lawyer or doctor?! [/quote]
